If ever there was a song to caution Sox ownership against continuing to hurt their fans, it’s this one. Track 11: Karmaĭon’t you know that cash ain’t the only price? But as soon as a disappointing season comes to an end, we’re all counting down the days until Truck Day, spring training, and Opening Day. The pendulum of joy and heartache swings hard when you’re a Red Sox fan. Track 10: Labyrinthīreathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out Forget about the few obstructed views, the uncomfortable wooden seats, and the minimal food options there’s no better place to watch a summer sunset. If Fenway Park had a song for the haters, it would be this one. I can still make the whole place shimmer” Likely for the remainder of his career, Betts will be “dressin’ for revenge” in Dodger blue. It might not have been pretty for the first few years, but it certainly was doable, especially if they’d kept negotiating instead of turning around and giving buckets of money to Chris Sale and Nathan Eovaldi. This ownership has made quite a few mistakes over the years, but trading Betts stands out from the pack, and claiming that they couldn’t have signed him to the kind of deal the Dodgers gave him is patently false. The Sox lowballed him after he became the first player in MLB history to win a Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, batting title, MVP, and World Series in the same year, leading him to declare he would test free agency no matter what.

Is it spring training yet? Track 6: Midnight Rainįenway Park isn’t for everyone. “Summer went away, still, the yearning stays” And yesterday was the anniversary of Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS. Superstitions, jinxes, never daring to hope that this would be the year the drought ended. This song gives Curse of the Bambino-era vibes. “Pierced through the heart, but never killed” One day, fans really will get tired of all of it and leave for the last time. This whole song is really made for the Red Sox.Ĭrisis? Two last-place seasons in three years, Mookie Betts in a Los Angeles Dodgers uniform, Xander Bogaerts being disrespected, et cetera. This ownership has certainly gotten older over the last two decades, but so far, not wiser. “I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser”Īnti-Hero opens with a line that perfectly encapsulates the Red Sox’ inability to learn from their past mistakes with homegrown stars and unproven free agents. I listened to every track and picked out some of the most relatable lyrics for Red Sox Nation… Track 3: Anti-Hero The album covers everything from love to heartbreak, revenge, and karma, there’s something for everyone. Taylor Swift just dropped yet another highly-anticipated album, Midnights, and it’s full of lyrics to which Boston Red Sox fans can relate.
